SOCIOL 207

Sociology of Gender and Families

Description

Focuses on the interrelationship between gender, sexuality and families in New Zealand and other Western societies.

Through an examination of important moments in the life course of families – for example, partnering and parenting – it explores changes and continuities in the gendered norms, identities, practices and patterns that characterise contemporary family life.
